CANNONDALE Scalpel carbon SE 2 MTB Trail mango 2024

Cannondale Scalpel SE 2 2024 MGO

Better suspension. Better traction.

The Scalpel SE's patented FlexPivot suspension provides added grip, control and speed. The 120mm of travel is so smooth you'd think it was a lot longer - which means long trail rides are a breeze.

Gifted for the Trail.

The Scalpel's progressive maximum control and precision, this bike is made for you.

Technologies

FlexPivot

The key to Scalpel's suspension performance and incredible lightness. These patented carbon plates create virtual Horst linkage pivots, while being stiffer and lighter than bearings. Incredibly durable. Incredibly flexible. And maintenance free.

Optimization by size

Unlike our competitors, who use the same suspension kinematics for all sizes, we custom design the suspension so that every rider, regardless of size, benefits from optimal suspension performance.

Pre-installed STASH kit

Compatible with the STASH kit. Everything you need for quick repairs on the trail, neatly stored under your bottle. Quick and easy.

Ai – Asymmetric integration

Our asymmetrical offset drivetrain system provides generous tire clearance while maintaining short rear chainstays for agility and traction. This also makes the rear triangle stiffer and more robust, making the Ai system a win-win solution from every point of view.

Two cans

Real hydration, without the bulk. Hooray!

Internal routing of “DirectLine” cables

Internal tube-in-tube cable routing in the frame and rear triangle makes installation both quick and easy.
